Description for Earth Dynamics: Deformations and Oscillations of the Rotating Earth
hardcover. A rigorous overview of the solid Earth's dynamical behaviour, explaining the theory with methodology and online freeware for numerical implementation. Num Pages: 553 pages, 80 b/w illus. 25 tables. BIC Classification: PHVG; RB. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 177 x 29. Weight in Grams: 1226.
The Earth is a dynamic system. Internal processes, together with external gravitational forces of the Sun, Moon and planets, displace the Earth's mass, impacting on its shape, rotation and gravitational field. D. E. Smylie provides a rigorous overview of the dynamical behaviour of the solid Earth, explaining the theory and presenting methods for numerical implementation. Topics include advanced digital analysis, earthquake displacement fields, Free Core Nutations observed by the Very Long Baseline Interferometric technique, translational modes of the solid inner core observed by the superconducting gravimeters, and dynamics of the outer fluid core. This book is supported by freeware computer ... Read more

Reviews for Earth Dynamics: Deformations and Oscillations of the Rotating Earth
'Earth Dynamics is a scholarly work. … people who have a strong background in differential equations and a foundational understanding of the more advanced nature of our planet's motions will enjoy what Smylie has to say. … Smylie's writing is easy to follow with this prior knowledge [of physics], and having the software available from the website makes it easy ...
